New Hampton led 11-7 after the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Chickasaws built the lead further, going into the locker room up six at 22-16.

New Hampton ran away with the game in the second half.

"We thought the kids did a nice job of playing solid defense in the first half against a high powered offense. In the third quarter New Hampton picked up their pressure and forced us into a lot of turnovers and extended their lead to double digits. In the fourth quarter we played even with them," said Coach Chris Sullivan. "We thought the kids did a nice job on the defensive end of holding them to just 53 points. With that being said, NH dominated us on the offensive glass. We need to do a better job of boxing out and not just three people boxing out but all five."
